Fairmont Royal York has announced a September schedule of guest bartenders, visiting chefs and special cocktails at Library Bar, REIGN and MONOGRAM.
The programming begins on September 15 with a guest shift from Mexico City’s Bar Mauro at Library Bar. Both bars appear on the North America’s 50 Best Bars list, with Library Bar ranked No. 19 and Bar Mauro ranked No. 2 for 2026. Bar Mauro was named The Best Bar in Mexico for the same year.
The one-night event will run from 6 to 10 pm, with drinks drawing from aperitivo, Aperol and Mexico City cocktail culture.
MONOGRAM will mark Negroni Week from September 21 to 27 during lunch and dinner. The menu will feature several versions of the Italian cocktail, including one made with cacao and pink peppercorn and a lighter drink with banana and Oloroso Sherry.
Proceeds from Negroni Week will support Slow Food. The drinks will be served in MONOGRAM’s lounge, which has a 50-foot wraparound bar.
Montreal hospitality group Groupe Barroco will take over three Fairmont Royal York venues on September 23 and 24. The residency will bring bartender Kate Boushel and chef Jérémie Falissard to Toronto for cocktails and a collaborative dinner menu.
The first night will feature Atwater Cocktail Club at Library Bar from 6 to 10 pm on September 23.
Chef Jérémie Falissard will collaborate with REIGN on September 24 from 5 to 10 pm. Atwater Cocktail Club will take over MONOGRAM during lunch and dinner that day.
Event availability and reservation requirements may differ by venue. More information can be found through the Fairmont Royal York website.
